The supernatural corner of the DC Universe has had a long tradition of being rich and varied. With a stellar roster of characters to choose from, the possibilities are only limited by the creators entrusted with them’s imagination. Helmed by James Tynion IV and a batch of fantastic artists, The Witching Hour is a crossover between Justice League Dark and Wonder Woman that continues to explore DC’s supernatural concepts and locals.
In the Witching Hour, Wonder Woman and the Justice League Dark team will be up against Hectate, the witch-goddess of magic. Hectate will cause chaos with her secret army of “witchmarked” humans, which happens to also include Wonder Woman. How are they going to get out of this one? You’ll have to read this 5-part crossover to find out!

Wasn’t There A Comic Called The Witching Hour?
That’s right, there was! Although, you won’t need to know anything about it in order to enjoy this crossover. The Witching Hour was a supernaturally themed horror anthology which told self-contained stories from 1969 to 1978.
Background Reading
If you’re looking to do some background reading before getting into The Witching Hour, I would recommend reading the first three issues of Justice League Dark.
Justice League Dark (2018 series) #1-3
Written by James Tynion IV. Art by Alvaro Martinez and Raul Fernandez.
You won’t need to be reading the Wonder Woman series in order to understand this crossover. This is because Wonder Woman is one of the main characters in Justice League Dark. The Wonder Woman title is also in a transitional period where it will be getting a new creative team in November.
